The Dutton Park Eco-sciences precinct has been chosen as the preferred location for the first new high school to be built in Brisbane’s inner-south for more than 50 years.
Chosen to help relieve enrolment pressure from Brisbane State High School, the decision has come to the delight of many parents who held concerns over the expansion of existing inner-city schools.
The new school comes as part of the state government’s $800 million Building Future Schools Fund, with a secondary state college being planned to open in Fortitude Valley in 2020.
